aessed, considering the state of Canada, was more necessary to the person entrusted with the government of that country than the power of adopting extraordinary measures should such a course be required. If extraordinary measures had been resorted to, he supposed they had been called for, and, looking at any country under circumstances similar to those which prevailed in Canada, he thought if extraordinary mea sures were resorted to that everybody must know the reason why such a line of conduct had been adopted. Now he called on their Lordships to recollect what the state of Canada was when his Noble Friend arrived in that country. It was true that Sir J. Colborne had released some of the prisoners, but still the pri sons were full of persons charged with committing crimes dur ing the last rebellion. The period was a critical one, and under the circumstances, and for the purpose of satisfying the . feelings of the whole country, he supposed his Noble Friend, not wishing to press the law in its utmost severity, had resorted to the measure which the Noble and Learned Lord had alluded to. The account given by the Noble and Learned Lord was not that certain classes of persons had been released by an ordi nance issued by the Governor-General without having pleaded guilty. He (Lord Melbourne) apprehended that, technically speaking, they had not been called on to plead, that they had not pleaded guilty ; but then they did that which was tantamount, for they confessed, and it was on that confes sion that the measures referred to had been taken with respect to them—measures for which there was a prece dent in former times, similar in nature and circumstances, and also similar in character. Unquestionably, as regarded these persons, who had absconded to avoid proceedings, and against whom only warrants had issued, they stood in a very different situation. Ile would not state, with reference to them, there was any precedent for a similar proceeding, though a day had not been given.—( [fear, hear.) It was impossilde to believe that their keeping out of the way was accidental. They must be aware of the fact that prosecutions were to be instituted against them, because, in an ordinance jawed by Sir John Colborne it was expressly stated that in dictments were to be preferred against them, and notice was given tai them to come in and surrender. Having omitted to come forward, and not being acquainted with the course in tended to he pursued with regard to them, placed them in a very diffesent point of view; but ae to whether the line• of conduct adopted by his Noble Fiiend was wi=e or not, was a mt;er which their Lordships could not probably determine tiedl they knew what the reason was which had led his Noble F.icnd to take the st.:ps which he had resorted to. If their Lordships thought they were legislating under ordinary cir cumstances for a country in a regular state like one of the counties of this country—for a country in which what took place was not likely to be attended with evil consequences, wry then indeed they might proceed strictly according to all the rules of law. But was this the case ? Let them look at the present state and situation of Canada. Let them consider the relation of that country, not only as regarded this country, but the c( wary in its neighbourhood, and by vrtsiels it was boundsd, and then let them ask themselves whe ther, in legislating for that part of tic wcrld, it did not belt. v.' them to proceed with caution, end have full informa- • tier! before they ca ste to any decision nhich might prevent re conciliation, or have an iejurious iefluence on the minds of the Caned:an people. He ad a great respect no doubt for the prosiots of the law, The Noble and Learned Lord might thiek idin very innetant of matte's ef law ; but licwever thet ',eight be, lie was reedy to maietain that notwithstanding a ro se might pi sseaa the Lriglet st taleinseand the mod enlergeel mind, there was sttli i t the profeseioa of the late a sninettieg which !ssria:ed io fetter tie utiderAftediwv in 1-11.:01 4 N ays.—( A laugh.) He thoeght if they did that which, without le tending it, would have the effect of encouraging those wins were hcstile to this country, that it would be little (-Desolation to them. when the mischief was done, to think that they hal adhered to aides of law, and toted up to the spirit of special pleeding. That wss his feeling en the subject, and he therefore thcugl:t they ought not to be fet ter° I ce tied down in their preceediegs by rules of law, vile s , the tossh they nsight be al very well in England, could have no spplicarion in a country in the position is which Ce:ad, was placed It wee, s flee the observations which had been made, need.ess fez' him to say that he should impose the second readii:g of a Bill, the seeend clause o f which went the htegth of depriving the Geverticr-Ger (Tat af Canada of potters which hr ought to posses; and net knowing hew that power had been ewes ciaed, er whether, in sending those parties to Bermuda, es stated in :he erdinence, it had been in any way sacred:Ai, it did not appear to him at pet sent that the introduction of any Bill cf . indemnity was neecasary. When hi' considered that the morel .zif. et of such a proceeding would be peecisely the sa mens the. Gorerrtent, as throwing everethieg in Canada loose, be could not be a party to a -measure width be leg:lvied r.s unauthorised, and the more es pe c ially as he believed that it would he ieoperative arch witheut curet. The Noble Lord, in coeculsion, moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six ritoetlis. The Duke of WELLINGTON said—After whet has passed I hope your Lordships will allow me to say a fete words on this sunieen and I assure, ycu they sha'i be very few ;soloed. My Lords, the Noble Vi.,couet t as, as usual. taken advantage of the support which we have given to him on former occa sions, and thought Koper to turn round on this side of the House and reproach us for the consequences of measures pro duced by his own party, or rather his own Administration.— ( Hear.) What, my Lords, has the Noble Viscount told us Why be has told us that we did net object to the appointment of Lord Durham—that we did riot object to the powers con fided to Lord Durham—and, moreover, he says, " Oh, you urged us (referring to me particularly) to send cut a large force, to have a strong body of military in the North American provinces." Such advice I admit, my Lords, I did give, and I bad to repeat it until I well nigh fatigued not only myself but your Lordships, and the Noble Viscount himself._ —( Hear, hear.) But why, my Lords, did I not object to the powers which were confided to Lord Durham ? See ing the difficulties in which the Government were involved —seeing that this country (Lower Canada) was in a state of rebellion—and seeing that the Government had confi dence in another plan—l considered that it was not my duty to excite opposition to any measure which they might deem it necessary to adopt, and therefore it was that I took up all that they recommended. Possibly I was wrong in this.— ( Hear.) My Lords, it appears now that I was wrong— (Cheers)—but in the line of conduct I considered it my duty to adopt I would not follow the example of those who, though convinced of the necessity in a country involved in war of supplying the means of carrying on that war, had yet op posed the granting of those means. I say, my Lords, that I would not oppose granting to an absent person the means necessary for carrying on the Government of a country un der the circumstances in which Canada was placed, when I knew that he was aiding to administer the powers with which he was invested to the best of his abilities. (Cheers.) No, my Lords, I would not do that ; but, on the contrary, I would give the Government all fair support in adopting those measures which they may think necessary for pacifying a country which may be in a state of war or rebel lion, as was the case in the instance of Canada. I ha ye never seen this House—l have never seen Parliament do the con trary.—( Hear.) With respect to what the Noble Lord op posite has said as to the criminality of us on this side of the House not opposing the appointment of Lord Durham, I must beg to remind the Noble Lord that Lord Durham was appointed under an Act of Parliament which gave her Ma jesty the power of appointing a Council in Lower Canada.— ( Hear, hear.) But did the Noble Lord give Lord Durham instructions as to what description of Council that Noble Earl was to appoint ?—( Hear, hear.) Did the Government say to Lord Durham "We wish you would appoint to the Council this or that man ?''—( Hear, hear.) And what did that Noble Earl do ? Lord Durham went out to Canada, and one of the first things he did was to appoint his own Aides-dc-Camp members of his Council—( Hear, hear, hear) —and now the Noble Baron opposite comes down to this House and tells us that we are responsible for what has taken place.— (Hear, hear.) But I must be allowed to tell the Noble Lord that it is lie and not this side of the House that is responsible.— ( Cheers ) I believe there is no one man in your Lordships' House who has made so few observations on this subject as I have, except on any occasion when I have found it absolutely necessary to do so in order to elucidate some particular part of the question when under discussion.—( Hear, hear.) But, my Lords, let me ask, are these things which arc going on in Canada to be carried on as they arc, and under an Act of Parliament, too, which was passed no later than this present Session ?—( Hear, hear.) Are measures like these to be adopted and carried into execution—illegally, as has been shown by the Noble and Learned Lord, and imprudently, as are all seem to admit ?—( Hear, beer.) I ask are measures like these which have been taken in Canada to be carried into execution, and is Parliament to sit here and SP e them and to be supposed to take no notice whatever of such proceedings ? Loud cheers.) But, my Lords, as it is wished to throw upon us the responsibili t y f or th e consequences of these measures, I now come to that part of the question which that circumstance renders an important one. We are told there is one part of these measures that is absolutely illegal—and all seem to concur in the illegality of it—viz., that part of the or dinances which relates to the island of Bermuda.—(Hear.) The Noble Lords who have spoken have all s:ated it to be ille • gal ; but are we to be held responsible for an illegal ot dinance ? Not a bit !—( Cheers and laughter.) The Noble Earl ( Durham) js responsible, in the first instance, and the Noble Lord onpo site (Glenelg) and the Governaseidt in the next. —( Herr, hear.) •e, in Lords, that it is impressthle to do without that p ar t of,she Dill of the Noble and Learned Lord which goes to in demnify ao'ic sae, h ave sectioned this part of the ordinance, e justice to these who are carrying on the PS it IS 0111'. commo n Hear, hear.) With respect to the other law in Canada- -- ( particular, relating to persons par's of the den-': ‘Ttlia,t,. Noble Lord now attempts to haspute to not yet in custody, bl t. e 4t for it, saying that he still vote us, and calls us blatrod: at toftl e subject.

I ate only to add that; when i on fesspea secesions, bra ve separation of those provinces from this country. It was im possible to doubt that such must be the consequences of those proceedings. The existence of a particular government was of light consideration in comparison with the integrity of the empire. Had they not been told by the Noble Duke, that whatever course they took with respect to making a tempo rary provision for the Government of Canada, that they ought to take care to strengthen that Government? But surely pro ceedings of this kind were not calculated to strengthen the Government. He conceived that no power that could be pos .._ fair support to the Noble Lord on the Canada question, I did so upon principle, as I was anxious to relieve the Govern ment to the best of my power in a moment of difficulty.— (Cheers.) But now the Noble Lord turns round upon me, and accuses me of having laid a trap for him.—( Hear, heat.) I say, however, my Lords, that whatever has occurred has been occasioned by the Noble Lord himself in giving such great powers to the Noble Earl (Durham), and in which those great powers have been exceeded. (The Noble Duke was oudly cheered on resuming his seat. Viscount MELBOURNE said that if they passed an Act of Parliament investing a Governor with great powers they ought also to extend to him a proportionate and proper confi dence. In any remarks he had made, he begged to say that he did not refer to the Noble Duke or his party, but to the House generally. Lord BROUGHAM, in reply, expressed his surprise at the utter ignorance displayed by the Noble Lord on the Woolsack, not only of the statute the 7th Wm. 111., which had been alluded to, but also of the five or six other statutes which bore on the subject. He thought also that those who had instructed for the night the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonial Department, ought not to have left him so i completely unprepared with information on the subject. It had been said that the 7th of William the Third, was a statute only of the Parliament of England, and not of Great Britain, but was it not confirmed by the 7th of Anne, passed after the Union with Scotland, and conse quently a statute of the Parliament of Great Britain, as well as also by the 39th and 48th of George the Third ? The species of Bill of attainder now resorted to in Canada, was as different from all former Bills of attainder as if they had gone back to the old forms of trial by ordeal or battle.—( Hear.) He denied that the question was one of special pleading. The hanging of men without notice or trial, was surely not a mere technical consideration.—( Hear.) He believed that the in terference of Parliament now, would save Lord Durham from much mischief. It would be a solemn warning to him, either to change his pr,2sent advisers, or at least adopt their recom mendations with more caution. On that account if he had not brought the question before their Lordships, he thought he would have violated a sacred duty. The House then divided, when the numbers were— For the second reading, content. Non- content 36 _ Majority against the second reading —lB IRISH TITHE BILL. On the motion of isceunt MELBOURNE the Irish Tithe Bill was read a third time. After which The Duke of WELLINGTON brouglA up some amend ments, which were agreed to. On the motion that the Bill do pass, The Earl of CL A NCARTY strongly opposed it. The question was then put, ar.d the Bill pasled without a division. POST-OFFICE. Viscount MELBOURNE moved that the Post-office Bi he real a second time. The Duke of RICHMOND objected to the Bill on the ground of the lateness of the Session, which precluded its Leing referred to a Select Committee fur consideration. The Noble Duke concluded by moving that it be road a second time that day three months. The House then divided— For the original motion For the amendment 32 Majority against the seconercading.., —7 The Bil: was then rejected accordingly. CUSTOMS. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the third reading of the Customs' Bill. After a few words from the Duke of Wellington, the Duke or Richrnond, Viscount Melbourne, Lord Redusdale, Lord Lyndhurst, and Lord Holland, the Bill was postponed to to mcrrc,,w, in order to give the Government ,an opportunity of :iniendirg it in those parts which relate to the imposition of an ed valoiesit duty on eri:hable articles, and to the pa , sage of her Yhjesty's troops toll-free over private bridges, The House then aejourned at a Quarto - to T‘N CIVC CIOCk.

Now, for removing such doubts, it is hereby declared and enacted by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that nothing in the said Act con tained shall be taken to empower the Governor of the Pro vince of Lower Canada, or the Governor with the advice and consent of the Special Council therein authorised to be ap pointed, to make any law or ordinance for altering or suspend ing the course of the criminal law within the said province in any particular case or cases, or for attainting, or for subjecting to any pains and penalties, or otherwise punishing any person or persons not convicted by due course of law, or for declaring any person or persons not so convicted to be guilty of any of fence for refusing to leave the said province, or for coming within the same, or for not returning within the same. 2.

The Austrian and French Ambassadors and the Belgian Minister transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. Despatches front the Governors of New Brunswick and the Canadaa, were received yesterday, at the Colonial Office. Des patches were sent off last evening from the Colonial Office, fur Sir Wm.

The whole de bate was eetremely interesting, and the speeches in parti cular of Lord BROUGHAM, the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord LYNDHURST, Lord MELBOURNE, and the Duke of WEL LINGTON, were worthy of their reputation and character, and ought to be read. Leaving the debate, however, with out further comment, we shall make a few o bservations on the probable consequences of Lord BROUGHAM'S success. It must at once he apparent that it is as serious a blow to Lord DURHAM'S government as the Peers can inflict. A motion for an Address to remove him might have been set down wholly to party malice, and might have affected only himself ; but for the Lords to declare his acts ille gal, to have done that by a Bill of Indemnity going through all the forms of legislation, vitiates all L o r d ' Duarinat's proceedings, and, for all good purposes—in spirit and in truth—vitiates and nullifies, while it pretends to confirm them. His ordinances are of themselves illegal. PAPINEAU might re-enter Canada, and WOLFItED NELSON return, except for that reprobated expedient an ex post facto law—should the Bill become a law—passed to make their banishment legal. The Lords have completely vitiated, and practically nullified Lord DURHAM'S proceedings - ; but the Bill of Indemnity, a true ex post facto law, being in its own nature a tainted and decryed Act, will not establish the authority of the Lords. Their success shows a weak and divided power, and is an invitation to the Canadians to disregard the authority of the Imperial Legislature. It is also a serious blow to the Ministers. They were defeated. How will they deal with the Bill in the Com mons ? Will they accept it, and acknowledge that Lord MELBOURNE and his supporters in the Peers were wrong ; or wi 1 they try their strength, and, if possible, reject it ? Lord BROUGHAM'S opinions may there probably influence some of their usual supporters ; all the Tories, it may be presumed, would go against them, and they might not succeed. If they succeed, another point of coll ision arises betwixt the Commons and the Lords ; but still the acts of Lord DURHAM will remain condemned and vitiated by the high legal authority of two ex-Lord Chancellors and a deliberate vote of the House of Peers. If they are defeated, their Ministry and - Lord DURHAM'S Govern ment ends. Lord MELBOURNE warned the Peers that the question was of the deepest consequence to the Empire ; and we echo that phrase, whether the Ministers decide to accept or reject the Bill in the House of Commons, and whether they succeed in getting rid of it there or not. Great damage must result to the Government, whoever may administer it, by this renewed conflict of parties, de monstrating that it is not only a weak and a divided authority, but, as it consists of the Executive and Legislative, is com posed of conflicting and hostile elements. The last pro ceeding of the Session is certainly not the least important. Nor would the removal of Ministers restore the har mony betwixt the Legislative and Executive powers. The Tories, whatever they may boast of, have not the country fiall oaa with eusnrrde aega trrhee hatredea t party,o.t so wl a A ynr sse borne tottorlh:nveea interwovenr m C d b ' es /i ry ). et o eNi theeie of wo r t k o i - n d g a y ith creatures a l lt Aristocracy. hoet itnhoer snore reprobated Aristocracy, clsaasYsse's there h o e f r abuses and grievances of which the people complain, in aclduddititilognthe C hu h r u: h ch E o n t d ' 0 1 ,4 re m la e n n d t , s, C a h n u d rc t h h - e rates Corn-laws. demands, Tories, therefore, whatever a momentary panic might do for them, would not, and could not, have the Housi. of Coin toonhbarremackni; ; u a p n a d g , again.

It has once broken up their con tinuing,Ministry— ilitwouosuelsd the conflict between one branch of the Legislature and the Executive Governmentwould also continue. It seems to us as if the Peers, envious of the Commons, had resolved, as the latter had knocked up the Tories, to knock up the Whigs. Without considering that the palp a bl e weakness o f the Executive is the natural end necessary consequence of the present condition of public opinion, which is all abroad on political mutters, elle Tory Pe( rs have imputed it to adopted the opinions of their abusive organs, and the personal character of the Min isters ; they have a e lost all their habitual respect for the servants of the Crown. They have hence been led to strik e a great blow can to lo t o il k e e r a , : ; at its authority.

United with the Execu s. kith l3 Bec h hope, forward ‘\re live, they are not strong ; and, in hostility to it, there can they fit;( l . l roteeti , ;ri ? Arid now let us ask what lies coa.e out of those com promises and c or.c.:ssions, and of union and harmony be tween the parties, of which so much was said in the early part of the Session. bleu on both sides sacrificed some of their principles, v‘itli a view to mutual acconimoda- Lion 2 It is now plain that all these party com promises and treaties are at an end. The Duke of WELLINGTON last night reproached himself for having aided And supported the Ministers, and the Lords' Amend ments to the Irish Municipal Bill were unscrupulously re jected by the Commons. The Irish papers say, and we believe with some truth, as the Lords have rejected all the clauses of the Tithe Bill for opening the composition, that it will also be rejected. Nothing then, not even the tech nical passing of a Bill which would have been insufficient to settle the questions in dispute in the countr y , has been gained ; but . character has been lost by these attempts at ac commodation. Even the union of the two parties cannot ac complish the object which their separation and hostility were alone supposed to render impossible. To succeed next Session they must consult the dictates of justice rather than statutes, and the opinions of the living generation, rather than that of men and times passed away. Since the above observations were written we have learned that there is a probability of the two parties entering into a compromise on the question. Some modifications, for example, may be made in the Bill in the Committee of the House of Lords this evening, which may make the Ministers agree to pass it through the House of Com mons. But though that should be the case, the mischief done by the Lords, condemning the conduct of Lord DURHAM, and their opening again the door for fresh agitation in Canada, will not be diminished. The persons in London who are connected with Canada, are said to regret very much that any censure should have been thrown on a line of conduct with which all parties there were pleased, and which promised the happiest results. As we yesterday stated would be`the case, the Commons last night did not adopt the amendments of the Lords to the Irish Municipal Bill. A conference was held with the Lords, at which their Lordships stated their reasons for not agreeing to the Commons' alterations. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then explained that the Lords had returned the Bill very nearly in the same state as when it came down from the Lords before; he could not so accept it, and could not carry on the controversy any longer, and therefore he proposed that the consideration of the amendment be post poned for three months. The motion was agreed to with cut a division ; the two Houses, like bungling apprentices, having spoiled a great quantity of materials without com pleting the work. We must very briefly call attention to the trials of COURTENAY'S followers at Maidstone for murder. Two of them were fount guilty, and immediately sentenced to death, that the humane Judge might be able, as he said, at once to assure them that the law would not be carried into execution. We too much approve of the humanity to say one word against Lord DENMAN'S sentence, but we cannot avoid noticing the discrepancy between pro nouncing a sentence of death and a pardon in the same breath. One or the other must be wrong. If the crime be not worthy of death, why pronounce such a sentence ? if it be, why remit it ? Such discrepancies—now that all eyes are fixed on the law, and men weigh it in the balance of conscience and reason—do not add to the public respect for the law nor increase its authority. Similar to this is the case of the boy who was sentenced to be executed at Lincoln, and whose life has been spared. His crime was a wilful, deliberate murder, but he is young— he may repent—he may grow up to be a virtuous and honest man. If there be the most remote possibility of that, the most penal of our Coloaies—for we know what vices they breed—is not a favourable school for him ; and some persons may possibly think it would be merciful to take his life, rather than condemn him to so ninny years of unre quited toil and suffering. But besides these two discrepancies between the en actments and the execution of the law, the cases of this boy and of those men are so widely different that another arises on comparing them. From a motive of revenge, he committed a deliberate murder —they believed the words of COURTENAY - Or 1:119M, and were with him when he committed a revolting murder. They took him for another Saviour ; and we cannot see that that those who insist on ;ts being a great merit to believe in the exis tence of such a person in past times, are justified is regarding it as a great demerit in the followers of Thom in believing him on his own assertions ; bat whether there be great merit in the one belief, .and great demerit in the other, or not, the men believed COUR TENAY and followed him. They bore no malice against the man who was killed, they made no attempt on his life ; they were merely by, when a madman who had deluded them, committed the murder ; and they are found guilty of the same crime as the boy, and- sentenced to the sine punishment. The giit of their offence, according to the Judge, was concurring in the resistance to law ful authority. That it was which in them constituted their act murder. Now, such a gross generalization by the law, of such very different acts under the one name of murder, and such an indiscrim;nate ordaining of penal ties for a deliberate act of wickedness and an unhappy de lusion, seems to us even a greater discrepancy than that between the enactments and the execution of the law. To establish any guilt in these men it is necessary that they should discriminate between lawful and unlawful au thority. The Judge and the Justice and the Constable assert their authority to be lawful ; THOM asserted his au thority to be lawful ; he derived it, according to his state ments, from a higher power than man, and his unhappy followers believed him. Their crime, then, consists in not discriminating between lawful and unlawful authority ; or in an erroneous belief ; and if such be a good ground for sentencing men to death, who amongst us can hope to escape the gallows ? The Chronicle of this morning gives the " first" budget presented, to what may be properly called the " Reformed Parliament" of Portugal, and pays a well-merited tribute to "men who have brought her resources into such a fa vourable and satisfactory position in so short a time as to produce the yearly sum of two millions and a half sterling.' It appears that the revenue for the year 1837-1838 exceeds the expenditure by 95,0001. a year when trade and corn merce were much interrupted by intestine commotions and a revolutionary Government (so the enemies of BAN DEIRA described his Administration) were making the grand experiment of remodelling the whole Constitution. No public man was ever more unjustly reviled than this able Minister. He was described as the tool of clubs and re publican foreigners, as the abettor of men hostile to England, and bent on supplanting her in fluence in favour of those called her natural enemies, and as the reckless innovator who, for the sake of place and popularity, would sacrifice the rights of th e Crown, destroy the Constitution, and involve the trade and finances of the country in hopeless ruin. The present state of Portugal is a sufficient answer to these malignant charges. The Throne never was so secure as at the present moment, the Constitution has been reconstructed with a degree of moderation which does the highest honour to the Members of the defunct Congress, and the finances have been managed with a judicious economy hitherto unknown in Portugal. We concur, therefore, cordially in the eulo glum passed by our Contemporary on men who have steered safely through so many difficulties ; and Englishmen must feel gratified that a people, with whom they have been so long intimately allied, have conducted themselves, ever since the landing of Don PEDRO, in a manner so honourable to their patriotism, and forming such a proud contrast to the sanguinary, imbecile, unna tural, and apparently endless, warfare, carried on by their proud neighbours. Spain, with all her boasted pride and chivalry, is at present the most degraded country in Europe. A general bargaining for the expulsion of a couple of functionaries before he fights the enemy—a Court sunk in indolence, alive only to intrigue, and stealing, mildly c alled intercepting, money destined to feed the half-starved troops—a total want of patriotism, and national bank ruptcy, are only a few of the features of a people that look down upon the Portuguese with insolent contempt. No two nations, so nearly allied, ever exhibited so great a con trast ; and their descendants in the new world faithfully imitate their example. The English may claim some merit for the distinction. The close intimacy between the two countries—the influence of our free institutions, and the strict honour with which we preserve our national faith, have not been without effect on our ancient ally ; and we may congratulate ourselves as well as the Portuguese on the issue of the arduous struggle, and the noble contrast which they exhibit to their degenerate neighbours. There is very little news of any interest in the Paris papers of Wednesday. M. FAnarcrus, Charge d'Af ' fa'res of Holland at the - Court of France, has been recalled, n c onsequence of a demand to that effect on the part of the French Cabinet. One Journal regards the docu ments purchased by M. FAuarcrus as true copies of diplo papers in the Archives of the Fo reign Mi n i ster. In pronouncing them forgeries the Government only acts as it is its interest to act under such circumstances. It a ppears, moreover that M. FABRICIUS was actuated in no slight degree by personal pique in making use of the agency of CISALTAS to obtain the papers in question. Se veral months ao a robbery was comm i tte d at his hotel, when several of his to papers were stolen. The t hi eves were not discovered, cor was touch atten tion paid to the matter by the Minister of the Interior. It subsequently tranvirod that a Ministerial Journal a-;- pearcd toleraWy well acquainted with the contents of the lost documents. M. PABaiclus renewed his complaints, and threatened to make his suspicions public, but no regard was paid totiiem. Hence it i s presumed originated his plan of retaliation, which has so disgraCefully recoiled upon himself: The advises from Madrid are of the Ist inst, The Mi uisterial crisis continues.

The Commerce of Wednesday contains the following article, " com municated" to that journal by the Bondholders' Committee, no doubt :- " The Committee of the Spanish bondholders had yeterday an inter view with the Commissioners of the Spanish Government for the loan of 500,00 0,000 reals, for the purpose of ascertaining what satisfaction and guarantee they intended offering the old creditors of Spain. The Commissioners were of ouinion that a categorical answer could not be given to that question, but they protested with the greatest energy that no project of loan which should not secure the interests of the present creditors was in contemplation. They added, at the same time, that Spain would spare no sacrifice to meet her engagements. The Commit. tee of the bondholders took a note of that declaration, and will see that the satisfaction to be offered the creditors be conformable with the pro mises of the Commissioners." The Cuirassier brig, Captain Count Gourdon,arrived at Brest on the night of the 4th instant, from the coast of Mexico. Marshal Soult dined yesterday with the President of the Council. The Marshal con tinues to receive numerous visits at his hotel every evening. Marshal Clausel set out for Toulouse yesterday evening.
